whatever do you guys need 1.7G of memory _for_? putting persistent myths
about Lisp's resource-intensive flaws to death does not seem to be a goal.

perhaps it's because you're doing unreasonable things that make
reasonable stuff harder to do, and Linux is more optimized towards
letting people do reasonable things?
